"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.

This is quite an arresting vision of Anbu Kakashi and I applaud your bold interpretation of him in this portrait. There is a great intensity of expression on his face that makes me relieved that I am not the one he is looking at. I really like that the piece is largely monochromatic with the only exception of color being the muted skin tones and the red of his tattoo and sharingan eye. Quite evocative of a life that is largely lived in a black and white world of kill or be killed...finish the mission or die trying. It appears that the water is clear enough to reveal his lower body beneath the surface. That large area of the foreground I feel flattens out the overall image somewhat and is a bit too blurry to fit well with the rest of the picture. I would have cropped the pic to just above the top of what seems to be his white belt in order to tighten up the whole composition...but that's just meThank you for sharing this unique vision of one of my favorite manga characters. It is refreshing to see a Kakashi cosplay portraying the character in a believable setting functioning in a way that is entirely consistent with his ninja lifestyle rather that the usual static, stiffly posed portrait. Kudos to you Ill just have to add this image to my favs

When I was young ...well dirt was a new idea...originally I was an Art student who got woefully sidetracked by life.A few years ago an unexpected illness made me rethink my priorities.I am no longer a slave to a job.Creation is a special thing and though life is fleeting it is a way to leave your mark, if only on a few hearts.While ill I discovered InuYasha...laying in a hospital bed....gorked on Dilaudid...I watched the anime on adult swim every night and in a drugged haze tried to figure out what was going on.I continued watching as I recovered at home,You could say that Takahashi Rumiko's characters gave me something to hang on to at a very low and dark point in my life...I have always been compelled to stay to the end of a story and find out how it ends....well except for a horrible movie called "Star Crash" where I was so embarrassed to be watching something so bad I was afraid someone I knew would see me trying to sneak out of the theatre...But thats another story.Anyway...I rather fell in love with the story of InuYasha and out of that love was born a tiny bit of an obesssion. Now obessesions are not necessarily a bad thing when they give you enjoyment and hurt no one else in the process. After reading the manga and watching the anime to its conclusion my obesssion has manifested itself in pictures. Remember when I said I was an art student sidetracked by life? Well I got REALLY sidetracked and produced nearly nothing for Twenty years...thats right ..longer than some of you have been around....But before it was too late..i wised up and decided not to sacrifice my creativity for the mundane.Now i draw pictures... and write...and sit on my porch and watch the squirrels.I am working on the final draft of a novel I have written ( some of my gallery pics are sketches of my original characters) I post my salutes to Ms Takahashi here......and I am happy. And that is all I can ask for any of you who read this...Be true to yourself And be happy.Cerenarulyg

Moebius has died. The world has lost a truly great cartoonist and illustrator. The world has lost a truly unique Artist.I salute you Jean Henri Gaston Giraud and thank you, especially for that most inspiring of works "The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius". No one wielded a pen better than you.
